Anyone else on the over????

[TheOdyssey]

I know the weather is looking pretty bad for tonight but I don't think rain contributes too much to unders. If it was raining and windy I would say under. But just rain I think gives both offenses a huge advantage. They know where they are supposed to be going whereas the defense is forced to react to them. Both offenses have an advantage without the weather but I think rain really makes the offenses potent. Any local knowledge is appreciated.

Odyssey, you have a good point that poor weather conditions do not necessarily preclude an over or guarantee an under. But, unfortunately, it makes it harder to rely on a teams' typical or "proven" past performances, i.e., average rushing ypg, avg. ppg, avg. ypg on defense, etc. Makes it a little bit more of a crap shoot. I'm taking BG -3 but staying away from the total. GL

most important factor

wind, and is the field natural grass or artificial

 

[TheOdyssey]

I agree with wind being the biggest factor. I believe this is on artificial turf but not sure.

Field is Turf. Lots of sites have the field as grass but it was changed to turf.

Thanks for info.

Over just looks too easy.

I'll make a small play on the inder and enjoy the game in HDTV with a beverage and an Opus X.

Luck

yo jarbo

just dont like being on the under with these two teams, especially at 63, maybe 71 stay on top of the wind conditions. looks like you and I only undefeated at 2-0 in the bowl pow, i got off the over this am for tonight, but might come back with it again if the line goes 62 or less

love games on hdtv, have 2 42 in plasma panasonic, and just got 2 more aquos 45" lcd pimp tv's, although they have not arrived here yet. my sales guy at cdw in chicago said he had them in stock, that was 4 weeks ago

Just my two cents here but going out on limb and taking Memphis and the money line..
Memphis to me is not tons better but enough that i feel will win out right so money line is a small play here for me..

I am thinking about Memphis and the over. The only thing that scares me as I believe the MAC and Conf USA have met 6 time in the GMAC bowl and the Mac is 6-0 ATS and SU. That makes the pick kind of scary. Memphis looks like they can play with the best in the country and they can also look like the belong in D1 AA.

As mentioned it is turf. However this turf has an exceptional and sophisticated drainage system underneath.
